I never cease to be amazed at our ability to focus more on ourselves than those in need. I can be so guilty of this myself. Looking at people in need as less deserving because they have a lesser job or even no job at all. Thinking to ourselves that we are being forced to help others at our expense. I am ashamed to admit that I fell prey to this attitude. But our Father commands us to help. So I pray for myself and all of us. Loving Father, we don’t want to turn the other way when You bring into our view the hurting and neglected people of the world. When we see the hungry or thirsty, the stranger in need of clothing, the sick and frail, those imprisoned, and the countless other oppressing needs among us Your loving compassion compels us to reach out in whatever way we can to be an extension of Your kingdom. For we know that when we do it for those considered the least on earth we not only empower and bless them but we also obey and please You. May the “evidence of the grace of God” be visible in our attitudes and in our actions as we respond to the opportunities You give us everyday. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.
